Small but Promising

Small but Promising

Following the strange and unexpected little dust-tube tornado near Dumont, we figured this storm would have more potential as it moved into greater low-level moisture, while remaining discrete.  The next mesocyclone soon formed, quickly forming this sharply contrasted, feisty little rotating wall cloud, with fast rising motion in the tail at right.  Alas, this new circulation would wait until it crossed the road and moved east of us, into a huge road hole and poorer contrast, to produce its next (also dusty) “Chalk” tornado.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
